“What I hope is that this wider pattern of films about slavery that's emerging isn't just a fad but evidence that we've turned a corner as filmmakers of color and that we're moving forward in our confidence and in the film industry not being afraid of our telling these stories and in giving us the opportunity to bring our vision to the screen.” GivingFilmMovingOpportunityVisionEvidenceSlaveryMoving ForwardFilmmakerEmergingBeing Afraid Author:Amma Asante
“There's always a miasma of misinformation emerging from the higher education sector as to which are the "best" courses to take.
